Riot Doesn't Change Offensive Names

Have had games with 3 different people, each of their names just variations of "Blacks are inferior" but with weird symbols and crap instead of letters. Has been nearly a week since I first reported one of these names, and nothing has happened. Riot sure is good at banning you if you say the "Fuck" word, but I guess racist is A-O-K if you have symbols instead of letters. Dog trash company.

It's the xmas season. The staff that normally review things are probably out of the office.

Check again after 2 weeks or so.

Well, firstly it takes longer than a week for a report like that to go through. The system is automated and takes time to build up evidence so false positives are cut down to a minimum. Rest assured that as long as people continuously report them, those people will be forced to change their names eventually, so don't let it stress you out so much!

If you really feel the need to, file a support ticket, although I'm not sure it would do much in this situation. You've kind of done everything you can.

Also, you don't get banned just for saying 'fuck', when it's directed at someone, that'll get you in trouble.

I can say with certainty that people do get names changed. There was one instance on the bleeds that got a name changed based on a ticket that I sent in, which took roughly 24-48 hrs

Hello! I must confess, that I used the name "ThePolishKunt", but Riot told me to change it, so now, im PavLoo! Also, Riot DOES NOT "change" them, they "ban" the person until they log-in and change their name.
